SERGIO... With the use of extensions.... and a simple mod to the fuse
the battery can go further back and give you what you need??????
Just a thought..... Other than that..... you need the weights.... The non
use of a spinner and wheel pants can help... lighter props and main
wheels help also...

You said: FOR ENGINE THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID 5" (BACK PLATE OF
THE SPINER FROM THE FIREWALL)

You know that's just so that the cowl/engine hub/spinner will fit right
when the cowl is installed... But that can also be modified... Some have
cut off the cowl mounting tabs on the fuse./firewall(that also reduces
weight on the nose) and just screwed the cowl into the firewall area
instead of those 4 tabs...

Good points raideron. Another also would be to realize this plane will fly pretty darn good with the CG at 5". If you are anywheres in the 5"+ range you should fly the plane. You will surprised how good it does. Also, one benefit to a more forward CG is you won't have so much coupling during KE flight.
Other than these things, pull out the lead and go to adding weight.
Thanks,
Barry

I have a Futaba 6EXA, it looks like i can set up the mixing, but i cant turn it on and off when i want to. I would have to go into the menu while flying, dont think i want to try that.

Tsuppa, my favorite is a pro zinger 15x6(a zinger is about 1.25oz lighter than apc)then the apc 15x6.i dont know which mount your using but i suggest the great planes 60-120 size and mount the engineas far back as possible(picture)this engine will balance good this way, you will have to mount battery and rx all the way back under the wing bolt nuts and you will be somewhere around 5.25-5.5 cgthe firewall also needs new blindnuts , the second pic is where i put them, the dark spots are where i plugged the stock holes,i used 8-32 blind nuts and screws since they are the stock nuts and screws used with this mount on the 60 size.

cant post pics right now, something wrong, will try tomorrow

Sergio, how much does your engine wseigh? my 100 only weighs 21.5oz! if more than this you may have some work to do because this is about the max weight to make it easy.

GARY

MY SUPER TIGRE G90 HAVE 27 OZ WITH MUFFLER,

NOW I´M WORKING AND PUTTING THE BATERIES REAR, NEAR THE TAIL WEEL......[].
FINALY THE CG IT´S AT 5 3/4" AND THATS GOOD.. ( I THINK)

SERGIO

SERGIO.... Make sure it held down good.... Don't forget the foam:-)

Hey Guys....... Man do I feel out of the loop...... I finally got moved out of the old house and into the new one. I would send a picture but God only knows where there digital camera is, or anything else for that matter...[X(]
I did however keep very close tabs on my flying stuff. Hey, a guy's gotta have priorities......[8D] And I got in some flying today... Man!! That was a much needed break. I tried to convince wifey that I needed to take tomorrow off but that didn't work. Maybe because she has to work too. Anyway, it's good to be back. [8D] I have missed conversing with all you guys.....[&o]

Hey Rob... Glad you got moved in to the new Home:-) Know
you must like it!! Also Know you most likely have a few things
to do... But remember to take them needed breaks to get in
the air:-)

Thanks Ron, Yes the breaks are needed.... or I'll lose what's left of my mind. [:-] There is a lot to do though. We bought this house thinking it was perfect for us. Well, it's another fixer-upper in a sence. Lots of little things to do here and there. We aren't moving again though so we have lots of time. We have moved 4 times in the past 7 1/2 years. [X(] People are going to start thinking we are in the witness protection program. [:-] I told my wife we need to make a cemetary in the back part of the property. That way they can just bury me out there when I'm gone and I won't have to move again.... The nice part is that I am only 7 minutes away from the flying field.......... Oh Yeah!! I love that part. [8D][8D]

Hey Sergio,
I have the os 90 4c in mine and to get the cg at 5 3/4 I only had to put 3/4 oz's under the rudder servo. I think when I finally get the other 3 hitec 635's in the tail, I'll be able to remove the dead weight. 635's are heavier then the 3004's I have in there now.

Hey Cee Gee ,
Glad to hear the new hanger is coming along.

SPUDs out...................

HERE SOME PICTURES OF MY CHANGE

Looks Great Sergio..... The UCD will zip around now verses the 46....
So hand on the the sticks.... Oh........ Watch the tank mileage...
I seem to always know better.... But, don't get into my habit... which
is Oh it'll be alright... Just one more stunt..... Have Fun, and great
work....

Well I got the knife edge problem taken care of, as it turns out the servo I had on the rudder was bad. I replaced it with a high torque metal gear servo and my ucd knife edges like crazy.
Next question:
I'm trying to put in a mix in my 9c to slave the elevator to the rudder to take care of some of the coupling in knife edge. I got the mix turned on and working but it only moves one of the elevator servo's when I give rudder input. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get both elevator servo's to move when slaved to the rudder?

Thanks

welcome back Rob, i know what your going through with the wifey(moving too) mine works at the medical center.ive been known to wash dishes and mop floors
take a break, im gonna tomorrow morn and fo fly, to heck with the dishes

Sergio, looks great, now you will love it, now you see why i put the saito 100 in mine, its light and made for this planethat push rod isnt bent is it going to the elevator?, now go fly that thing

and Ron, running out of fuel 5ft off the deck is a stunt in itself, onlookers love ya for it

Raideron,

JE JE JE I HAVE THE SAME HABITS,,,,,,,HERE´S AN EPSILON, I SAID TO: ONE MORE TIME, ONLY ONE MORE TIME AND I LAND.............................................. ...NO FUEL BBBBBRRRRRUUUUUM........

if thats you in the picture Sergio, you have the right attitude for rc airplanes,you are sad and then you forget and now your happyonly way to get through a crash like that[:@]
oh and here are those other pictures i was gonna post!(a little late)

I´M SAD BECOUSE I´M THINKING HOW MANY JOB ARE BECOMING,,,,, THATS PLANE FLY AGAIN.......

Thanks Gary, Yea, ya gotta do what ya gotta do and sometimes that's just to go flying. The house and job are so overwhelming at times that I would lose my mind if I didn't get out and fly.......[8D] Now if I could just get those inverted, 3 foot off the deck, fly-bys down....[>:]
Sergio, looks like you are doing a terrific job of rebuilding that plane. It looks like new again.........[8D]

Gary what was the size of your 8oz. tank??? Do you have a number??
I have to look around more for the two piece engine mount...

Sergio.... Being a great builder.... Help's with going further than the tank
will let you:-)))

CeeGee.... You have to get out of the house and to the field for them
low invert fly-bys:-).... You have it down... Your mind is making your
thumbs feel the opposite..... I have it backwards.... My mind tells me
that it's time to land.. And my thumbs say... What's he know, we can
make one more circuit/stunt:-))).... The power of the mind......

No fly today:-((((... Still two planes to repair:-( and one that can fly
has the mag 91 out of it.... But I should get another on Monday:-)))

Ron, im still using the stock tank and i measured it with the wifys measuring cup(mine now) and it checked out at 10 oz, and with the fuel economy with the BIG engine i fly 9 min safe(im tired by then anyways).[sm=sleeping.gif]

and just got in from flyin 10 times, thats right i got a new 1100ma 6v and its way better
got her tuned in a little better ande she does a flatspin that only the pros can rival[8D]
but still working on the knife edge spin and cant get it as tight as i see on all the vidios(i strive hard to match ) cant get no more elevator, maybe i need more flaperons, i got them balanced good but just need to be tighter[:@]
but had a really good day

gjeffers. Is that the 9 oz or the 11 oz that measures 10oz? 10 Times!?!?!?! NiMH? How do you make a UCD flat spin better?
I sold my 82 to a kid in the club today. Let him have it for $75. But, I didn't want to take advantage of him so I threw in a couple of props, prop nut and the UCD landing gear. He's gonna but it on his Twist. Mighta, coulda, gotta little bit more but he's only 15 and his Dad never helps with any expenses. He mows lawns to get his plane parts. I try to help when I can.
Anyways, the plan is to put the 100 from my 60 in a new 46 and put the 110 in the 60. Should be fun. But it'll have to wait about 2 weeks as I'm finishing my "other" plane right now. I'm sealing the hinge gaps (boring) and then I've got to mount the engine and probably she'll be ready to fly.
As near as I can tell, I'm gonna have tried 2 new (expensive) airplanes but will probably end up flying the UCD as my favorite. I'll bet with the 100 I'll be able to do 2' inverted fly bys.
Anyways, back to the build,
Thanks,
Barry

rtn9105. On your radio question...Do you use two elvator extensions or are you using a Y harness to the elevators? I suspecy you don't have your aux channel turned on. On my 9C in advanced programing mode I'm using Prog 7: in pos 1 I use -20% pos2 -10% pos 3 0% pos 4 -10% and pos 5 -20%. On page 2 of Mix 7 you will need to make sure "Link" is on. I tied mine to switch H but of course you can use any switch you want. If you don't have the Link on this may be your problem.
Be careful with this program and usage. It hurts the knife edge coupling.
Thanks,
Barry
PS: gjeffers. When you put the 100 in did you raise/lower the motor centerline or was it about right?

Barry, I have my elevator servos plugged into separage channels (no Y harness).
Thanks for the info. I was using mix5, I put your info into mix7 and it's working great.
What do you mean this mix hurts the knife edge coupling. The reason I'm putting this in is to help keep the plane flying straight while in knife edge, does this have other effects that I'm not considering?
